PONANT invites you to discover sumptuous landscapes and exceptional cities during a 12-day cruise between Portugal and Spain. Be inspired by this unforgettable journey aboard Le Champlain as you visit major cities of the Iberian Peninsula.
Throughout your journey, you will benefit from an excursion included per person per port of call, to choose from a selection offered by PONANT. During this cruise, discover the Sagres fort, near Lagos; attend a cavalcade at a finca in Cartagena; or go to a flamenco show in Cadiz. The diversity of experiences on offer promises you intense and varied moments (to discover the full range of excursions, go to the itinerary tab).
Leaving from the bustling capital of Catalonia, Barcelona, you will sail west to reach the mythical Balearic Islands archipelago. On the preserved island of Menorca, Mahon will charm you with its age-old history and its port, which, at 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) long, is the biggest in the Mediterranean. A little further on, Ibiza, the “White Island” will enchant you with its wild coves and villages of white fincas, a natural beauty that has earned the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In Valencia, a lively city brimming with culture, do not miss the Silk Exchange, a flamboyant Gothic masterpiece listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, illustrating how powerful this mercantile city was in the 15th and 16th centuries.
You will arrive in Cartagena, a former Roman colony where there is still a majestic amphitheatre. As you roam the city, you will discover the many monuments reflecting its numerous influences and rich history.
After a port of call in Motril, at the foot of the Sierra de Lújar, Le Champlain will sail for Malaga, the cultural capital of the Costa del Sol. To the heart of the old town, its history can be read in its buildings, in particular the 10th century castle built by the Moors. You will also have the possibility of strolling through the picturesque town of Ronda and discovering its famous Puente Nuevo. Then, you will discover Cadiz, one of the country’s oldest cities, built on a rock and surrounded by the sea.
Your exploration continues in the Algarve region at the country’s southern tip. Bewitching Lagos stands proud like a fortress in hues of ochre and orange, bordered by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In this town of nature and culture, stroll in the paved small streets of the historic centre whose Moorish and Portuguese influences create a delightful blend. Further north, you will arrive in Lisbon, sitting on the Tagus River, distilling its one-of-a-kind charm imbued with rich history. In Figueira da Foz, at the mouth of the Mondego River, you will love the slow pace of this historic seaside resort and its beaches of white sand.
Your cruise will end in Leixoes, one of Portugal’s largest maritime ports, not far from Porto.

Die emblematische Insel der Balearen, die »weiße Insel«, war in den 1930er Jahren das Paradies der europäischen Künstlerboheme. In den 1960er-Jahren wurde sie von den Hippies auf der Suche nach Authentizität entdeckt, und seit den 1990er Jahren ist sie die Riesendisco der goldenen Jugend und Nachtschwärmer. Hinter dieser Fiesta-Wirtschaft konnte Ibiza jedoch den Charme ihrer einsamen Buchten und Dörfer mit weißen Fincas und Flachdächern bewahren, die Le Corbusier inspirierten. Die Insel wurde wegen ihrer einmaligen Meeres- und Küstenökosysteme, aber auch wegen der architektonischen Überreste dieser ehemaligen Hochburg der mediterranen Wirtschaft von den Phöniziern bis zur Renaissance zum UNESCO-Welterbe erklärt.

Valencia, Stadt der Künste und der Wissenschaften – Zwei Seelen wohnen in ihrer Brust. Die spanische Stadt ist zugleich modern, avantgardistisch und fast futuristisch und doch auch provinziell, traditionell und nostalgisch. Als drittgrößte Stadt Spaniens hat Valencia das Temperament einer mediterranen Metropole, deren breite Alleen die Altstadt umschließen. Eine Fülle architektonischer Stile bestehen harmonisch nebeneinander. Mit ihrem beeindruckenden Kongresszentrum und der Stadt der Wissenschaften, deren futuristisch anmutende Struktur aus kristallin-blauem Wasser emporsteigt, wendet sie sich jedoch resolut dem 3. Jahrtausend zu.

Menorca and talayotic culture
From the pier, embark your coach for the 20-minute drive to the prehistoric settlement of Torralba d’en Salord.
This site dates back to the Talaiotic Period, between 1 000 BC and Roman times. The Taula and its enclosures were used for worship and are the most spectacular remains of the island. Excavations and restoration started in 1973 and is a continuing work for the Balearic Islands Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Madrid. The Taula - which means table - was built from two large slabs of rock, one vertical and the other horizontal, magnificently fashioned to form a “T” shape. The enclosures are horseshoe shaped with side columns.
After your guided visit of the megalithic village, you will return to Mahon, where you will start your guided walking tour.
You will start at the main square and walk downhill back to the harbour, through the city centre. The walk through this attractive town will give you a glimpse of the different periods of the islands’ turbulent history, and of the many architectural styles reflecting the frequent changes of rule. The centre offers an interesting mix of narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses, wide open squares and grand historical buildings.

A small corner of heaven in the Balearic Islands, for those who like discretion and relaxation, Menorca also has what it takes for fans of beautiful scenery, well-kept traditions and rural architecture. From Arenal d'en Castell, discover the fortresses of Arenal and Addaia, as well as pretty inlets and bucolic little ports like Cala Tirant with its Caribbean appearance, or the fishing village of Fornells.
From Monte Torro, the highest point on the island, you can discover all Menorca. There, the church, the convent, and a statue of the Virgin all watch over the infinite azure, the pine forests and the jagged shorelines that appear in the distance.

Highlights of Valencia
From the pier, you will be taken to the City of Arts & Sciences for a photo stop, a 15-minute drive away. Floating on azure blue water, this futuristic space began taking shape in the 1990s. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and water, the cultural complex covers nearly two kilometres at the eastern end of the Turia Gardens, along what was once the bed of the river of the same name.
You will continue your excursion into the very heart of Valencia to La Plaza de la Reina and the historic centre.

The natural biodiversity of the nature reserve allows a great variety of fauna and flora to thrive and be observed year-round. While once a saltwater lagoon, dilution due to irrigation and canals draining into the estuary, converted it to freshwater by the seventeenth century.
The park is bordered by a pine forest that extends down to the sea. This beautiful nature reserve, surrounded by rice fields is also home to Spain’s largest lake, a paradise for migratory birds and one of Europe’s most important sites for nesting birds.

The Moors stormed across the Strait of Gibraltar in the 8th century, and they were not driven out of Granada until 1492. During the intervening centuries, they brought a refined civilisation to the south of Spain; Granada, and particularly the Alhambra, represent the zenith of Moorish culture in this country.
On arrival, you will discover the old Albayzin Quarter, part of the UNESCO world heritage, from where you will enjoy a splendid view over to the Sierra Nevada, the Darro Valley, and the Alhambra itself.
After an early tapas dinner, enjoy an exclusive visit of the Alhambra by night.
The Nazrid Palace, named after the last dynasty of Sultans which made important reformations, is one of the finest examples of Islamic Art. Although damaged and restored over the centuries, it is not difficult to picture the place as it was in all its glory 600 years ago. The ceilings drip with stalactites in stucco, and each room appears more richly decorated than the previous one. Marvel at the delicate marble columns, graceful arcades and fine craftsmanship in the Sultans' "paradise on earth". The Hall of the Ambassadors and the Court of the Lions are considered as the gems of this oriental jewel box. From its windows you can look back across to the old quarter of Albayzin and the gypsy haunts of Sacromonte.
Finally, you will return to your coach for a 2-hour transfer back to your ship.

From the pier, embark your coach for the 20-minute drive to the prehistoric settlement of Torralba d’en Salord.
This site dates back to the Talaiotic Period, between 1 000 BC and Roman times. The Taula and its enclosures were used for worship and are the most spectacular remains of the island. Excavations and restoration started in 1973 and is a continuing work for the Balearic Islands Foundation, in conjunction with the University of Madrid. The Taula - which means table - was built from two large slabs of rock, one vertical and the other horizontal, magnificently fashioned to form a “T” shape. The enclosures are horseshoe shaped with side columns.
After your guided visit of the megalithic village, you will return to Mahon, where you will start your guided walking tour.
You will start at the main square and walk downhill back to the harbour, through the city centre. The walk through this attractive town will give you a glimpse of the different periods of the islands’ turbulent history, and of the many architectural styles reflecting the frequent changes of rule. The centre offers an interesting mix of narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses, wide open squares and grand historical buildings.

Pristine nature, rich cultural heritage, a taste for epicureanism and lounging about: Menorca has it all. You can tell by visiting some of the island’s most beautiful sites, from villages to coves, with their stunning views.
A small corner of heaven in the Balearic Islands, for those who like discretion and relaxation, Menorca also has what it takes for fans of beautiful scenery, well-kept traditions and rural architecture. From Arenal d'en Castell, discover the fortresses of Arenal and Addaia, as well as pretty inlets and bucolic little ports like Cala Tirant with its Caribbean appearance, or the fishing village of Fornells.
From Monte Torro, the highest point on the island, you can discover all Menorca. There, the church, the convent, and a statue of the Virgin all watch over the infinite azure, the pine forests and the jagged shorelines that appear in the distance.
The final port of call of your excursion: Subaida. This family farm, renowned for its delicious cheeses and wines, perfectly embodies the epicurean spirit running through the island.

Highlights of Valencia
From the pier, you will be taken to the City of Arts & Sciences for a photo stop, a 15-minute drive away. Floating on azure blue water, this futuristic space began taking shape in the 1990s. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and water, the cultural complex covers nearly two kilometres at the eastern end of the Turia Gardens, along what was once the bed of the river of the same name.
You will continue your excursion into the very heart of Valencia to La Plaza de la Reina and the historic centre.

While once a saltwater lagoon, dilution due to irrigation and canals draining into the estuary, converted it to freshwater by the seventeenth century.
The park is bordered by a pine forest that extends down to the sea. This beautiful nature reserve, surrounded by rice fields is also home to Spain’s largest lake, a paradise for migratory birds and one of Europe’s most important sites for nesting birds.

The Moors stormed across the Strait of Gibraltar in the 8th century, and they were not driven out of Granada until 1492. During the intervening centuries, they brought a refined civilisation to the south of Spain; Granada, and particularly the Alhambra, represent the zenith of Moorish culture in this country.
On arrival, you will discover the old Albayzin Quarter, part of the UNESCO world heritage, from where you will enjoy a splendid view over to the Sierra Nevada, the Darro Valley, and the Alhambra itself.
After an early tapas dinner, enjoy an exclusive visit of the Alhambra by night.
The Nazrid Palace, named after the last dynasty of Sultans which made important reformations, is one of the finest examples of Islamic Art. Although damaged and restored over the centuries, it is not difficult to picture the place as it was in all its glory 600 years ago. The ceilings drip with stalactites in stucco, and each room appears more richly decorated than the previous one. Marvel at the delicate marble columns, graceful arcades and fine craftsmanship in the Sultans' "paradise on earth". The Hall of the Ambassadors and the Court of the Lions are considered as the gems of this oriental jewel box. From its windows you can look back across to the old quarter of Albayzin and the gypsy haunts of Sacromonte.
